Faced with the questioning looks from Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao, Lin Xuan paused for a moment and gently shook his head.
"No."
He chose to tell the truth.
"Most of the insights and Cultivation Method here are too low-level for me; they're of no help whatsoever."
Although his ancestor's Sword Intent was superior to his own, he could sense that he and his ancestor were on different paths.
Once he has already mastered the Sword Domain and solidified his Sword Dao path, forcibly trying to comprehend a Sword Intent from a path completely opposite to his own will not only fail to help him, but may even cause conflict.
As for the others...
How could an enemy who died by the sword of the Lin Household's ancestors be worthy of him learning their ways?
No matter how powerful their Cultivation Method are, can they compare to the Immortal Grade Cultivation Method provided by the system?
Therefore.
Lin Xuan was not wrong at all.
Nothing here was of any help to him.
Only Spiritual Power and dragon energy are truly useful.
Although his Spiritual Power is immense, the amount of Spiritual Power he needs to advance is far greater than that of an ordinary person.
The dragon energy was thin, and the dragon vein had been severed. Lin Xuan only had three days to absorb the dragon energy that had dissipated over tens of thousands of years...
To outsiders, his demeanor remained completely unchanged, which seemed perfectly normal.
However, even so, Lin Xuan didn't completely come away empty-handed.
However, he couldn't easily talk about this gain with others, and it didn't enhance his strength at all, so he chose to remain silent.
Thinking it over, Lin Xuan lowered his head slightly and gently tucked his sleeves in.
There were several fragments of broken swords hidden in his sleeve.
He had never seen the broken sword that was presented as a prize, but at this moment, Lin Xuan was certain that the hilt of the broken sword and the fragments in his sleeve were definitely from the same source!
Moreover, it's related to our ancestors!
This is because these fragments all originated from the same secret realm, and they were all attracted by him when he secretly activated the Lin Household bloodline Cultivation Method during his cultivation.
Without alerting anyone, it quietly stopped in front of him, and he simply gathered it into his sleeve and pocketed it completely.
Thinking of the broken sword fragments in his sleeve, Lin Xuan let out a soft breath.
When the fragments came to him, they were still stained with blood.
The bloodstains had dried, leaving only a dark reddish-black color, but it was still chilling.
The one who left the bloodstains was definitely a powerhouse among powerhouses; otherwise, the bloodstains wouldn't still evoke such a terrifying feeling after so much time.
The connection between the broken sword fragments and his own bloodline confirmed Lin Xuan's complete certainty that this was his ancestor's sword.
He hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly.
It seems...
This time, he has no choice but to win the Mansion Competition, even if he doesn't want to.
The broken sword that had fallen into his sleeve could be pieced together to form a sword tip.
It seems that if we can get our hands on that broken sword hilt, we can piece this sword back together.
Lin Xuan's fingers lightly brushed against the broken sword in his sleeve, and a strange realization suddenly arose in his heart.
This sword...
Absolutely extraordinary.
Even though it was just a broken sword, the residual murderous Sha Qi on it was enough to make him feel extremely frightened.
If it could be successfully pieced together, it would be even more terrifying.
He couldn't help but ponder.
Zhiruo...
Who exactly was this person back then?
Although he had seen some fragmented images in the memories of Lin Ye's ancestor.
But how can visuals be more convincing than reality?
He didn't experience that era.
We can only deduce this from some broken, inanimate objects.
Even so, the deductions are still astonishing and shocking enough.
Besides being shocked, Lin Xuan was also filled with curiosity.
He lowered his brow, suppressed his thoughts, and shook his head slightly.
Next time.
If he ever sees Lin Ye again, he will definitely ask him for an explanation.
An ancestor like Zhiruo.
He believed that even in a place like the Central Divine Continent, she would not be an unknown person.
Ji Yanbai and Wan Hao, standing nearby, were utterly speechless.
Too low-end?
Not helpful?
Does this person really know what they're saying?
That's hilarious!
This is a divine dynasty even more powerful than the Taiyu Divine Dynasty of yesteryear.
The relative strength of individuals can change.
However, the quality of the Cultivation Method will absolutely not decrease.
Furthermore, because it has been isolated for tens of thousands of years, there are still many High Antiquity Cultivation Method that have been lost here.
How could it be weak!
If he were truly weak, then just how powerful would Lin Xuan's talent and background have to be?
If he really had such a terrifying background, would he even need to participate in the Mansion Competition?
It's absolutely laughable!
Wan Hao curled his lip in disdain. He already disliked Lin Xuan, and now his gaze towards Lin Xuan was filled with even more mockery.
He thought to himself.
That's too low-class...
It's likely that he didn't understand anything at all and was just saying such ridiculous things to save face.
After all, he was only at the level of Great Emperor.
The remnant souls suppressed by this Sword Qi, even those with the lowest cultivation level, were all Ancient Emperor.
Given the difference in their levels of understanding, it's normal that the other party can't comprehend it.
But there's no point in telling such an easily exposed lie.
Thinking about it, the two of them looked at Lin Xuan with a hint of disgust.
They weren't afraid that this person was someone with connections.
The worst thing is when someone is clearly clumsy and incompetent, but insists on pretending to be a genius. In the end, not only will they lose face, but they will also drag the other person down with them.
Thinking about it, Ji Yanbai and the other person sighed, feeling a deep sense of regret for Dugu Yun.
If Dugu Yun were here, he would surely have gained many insights just like the two of them, and perhaps he would even be on the verge of advancing to the next level.
He is definitely hundreds of times stronger than Lin Xuan!
pity...
What a pity!
Ji Yanbai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but before he could utter a sound, the token at his waist began to flash frequently, causing both him and Wan Hao's expressions to change.
If the waist tag gets hot, it's a signal that it's time to go out.
The flashing indicates that the teleportation array is activated, and they must exit within the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn.
Otherwise, you will be trapped in the secret realm and never be able to leave until the secret realm opens automatically!
"Walk!"
Wan Hao urged him on, too lazy to say anything more to Lin Xuan.
The group hurriedly left, retracing their steps back to the location where the teleportation array had opened.
With a flash of white light, the rare human presence in the Dark Orchid Secret Realm vanished once more, returning to tranquility.
Only the orchid remained, swaying gently.
Like a beauty under the moon, unmoved by anything external, her movements are gentle and radiant, originating from within.
Upon returning to the princess's residence, Ji Yanbai and his companion didn't even have time to see Dongfang Muxue again. They only had time to send a message before hurriedly returning to their own residence.
They desperately need time to reflect and digest their fortuitous opportunity in the secret realm, and to seek the possibility of advancement!
As for Lin Xuan...
Who cares!
Let this deceitful and dishonest person do whatever they want!
Dongfang Muxue was very concerned and specifically sought out Lin Xuan to inquire.
"Has Pavilion Master Lin found what he was looking for?"
Lin Xuan gently shook his head.
No.
"However, thank you nonetheless, Princess."
He saw a hint of hesitation on Dongfang Muxue's face, as if she wanted to say something but dared not speak, and sighed helplessly.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word."
"That's not the case." Dongfang Muxue quickly spoke up to explain the misunderstanding, not wanting Lin Xuan to think that she was someone who couldn't be trusted.
She quickly explained her hesitation, " Pavilion Master Lin, I have already brought the True Spirit Prince's Mansion under my command. If you wish, you can continue to participate in the war from the True Spirit Prince's Mansion. In that case, if you win, it will still be considered a victory for the Princess's Palace."
She was just afraid that her arrangement would displease Lin Xuan.
However, since this matter pertains to the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, it naturally wouldn't provoke Lin Xuan's displeasure.
He nodded, indicating that he understood.
Seeing this, Dongfang Muxue breathed a sigh of relief and a genuine smile appeared on her face.
"Then, the Mansion Competition will begin in three days. May we both achieve victory in three days!"
